    chris with a mk1 golf afh engine with an 8p box fitted a mk4 fly and mk3 clutch with mk4 starter as its slimmer, the mk4 flywheel wouldnt engage so he had to take it apart again and fit a mk3 fly! g

Absolutely loved your engine bay mate =D was great to meet you and see your car, definately gotta be a 1.6 by next year though =D

Thanks mark.

Its a catch tank... it catches any oil from the crank case breather when the vapours cool.

Oil catch tank :)

ah cool, so its like an optional extra? :L

I think get it powdercoated yellow, or same colour as the bodywork.

aftermarket part.... google is your friend ;)

I reckon this would lok good with a polished rocker cover btw dan, not just a slightly buffed up one ;)

I was going to say "I'll slightly buff you if you dont shut up" But that just sounded sooo wrong :?

It did look a hell of a lot better than that on the other engine, it just got oily during the swap.

I did think of powder coating it but that means id have to replace the gasket again and that is the most painstaking pain in the ass job ever so not going to happen!

Just trying to get my recaro frames made at the mo but cant decide what size metal i need and therefore cant order any, hence why they're not built yet :x Only using the car occasionally at the mo because i dont like the seats, which is pathetic really I know but i dont really know where to start.

The central locking got fitted to the breadvan which has since been sold, it may get fitted to this but I'm still in two minds whether this is going to be a stripped out racer or a comfortable cruiser with mod-cons!

Got some HID's on the way because even though fly eye kits are apparently MOT legal they do cut down the light way too much for driving in the deepest darkest shire

Check out the new plates too btw :-D

Still working on the install, and decided I'm having the rear windows tinted, nothing too chav just a light factory style tint to make the install less obvious

Got one seat frame built for the recaros but its still not quite right - too low at the front -so its back to the drawing board lol

Yeh need to get the arches rolled as its destroying my tyres, its fine in a straight line but if you boot it, especially round a corner, the back hunkers down and it sits on the tyre lol

At the moment its G40 rear beam new standard bushes, with 10mm hub spacers, 60mm supersport kit with 195/45/14 on a 6J so the tyre wall is very straight, the problem could be easily sorted with a thinner tyre / lose the spacers / roll the arch i just haven't got round to it lol
